good one ...but it still doesn't satisfy some.
it wasn't a reduction course but a maintanance prog ...meaning they were mainting the habbits of these people very well.
by the way ...methadone is more addictive than heroin. methadone zonks people out so they are not realy interested in working.

No, you really haven't.

You made up an arbitrary figure for 1g of heroin at £80, and then quote the wholesale price of diamorph from the BNF. QED? I don't think so.

£80 is not an arbitary figure, its roughly the current street price for a gram of heroin. And the BNF price is how much the NHS gets charged, so its a fairly good estimate. Tell me why it isn't.

There:

What?

That isn't doctors prescribing recreational drugs with no therapeutic benefit - the whole point of prescribing would be to stabilise an addict and then reduce. If that isn't therapeutic, I dunno what is.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing :rolleyes:
And I'll thank you not to tell me what I do and do not know about heroin use :rolleyes:
And don't try and blind us with science. Treating withdrawals and treating addiction are two totally different things :rolleyes:

I seem to know a little bit more than you do.

Yes it is.
